Green Hydrogen Project in Sardinia: Driving Sustainable Industrial Transition
Key Ideas
- A green hydrogen project in Ossi, Sardinia, financed through PNRR funds, will see Maffei Sarda Silicati generate 50 tons of hydrogen annually for industrial use, aiding in decarbonization.
- De Nora's Dragonfly® electrolyzer with 1 MW capacity will be utilized, alongside a 1.5 MW photovoltaic plant, ensuring a 100% sustainable industrial process.
- The project not only meets Maffei Sarda Silicati's energy needs but also presents opportunities for green hydrogen applications in various sectors, contributing to Sardinia's decarbonization efforts.
- Local authorities, including the Mayor of Ossi, express support for the project, emphasizing the importance of transitioning to clean energy sources for a sustainable future.
In Ossi, Sardinia, a groundbreaking green hydrogen project is set to revolutionize the industrial landscape, promoting a sustainable transition towards cleaner energy sources. Financed through funds from Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), the initiative led by Maffei Sarda Silicati and supported by technical advisor Make Energy and De Nora aims to produce 50 tons of hydrogen annually. This hydrogen will power Maffei Sarda Silicati's industrial activities, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and significantly cutting carbon emissions. The project includes the installation of De Nora's Dragonfly® small electrolyzer with a 1 MW capacity and a 1.5 MW photovoltaic plant to ensure the entire process is environmentally friendly. The generated green hydrogen will find applications not only in the company's operations but also in sustainable mobility, industry, power generation, and heating, aligning with Sardinia Region's decarbonization goals. Key figures involved, such as De Nora's CEO Paolo Dellachà and Maffei Sarda Silicati's President Federico Fiorelli, express pride in the project's potential to drive the region's green transition and foster innovative green production processes. The local community, represented by Ossi's Mayor Pasquale Libinu, applauds the initiative for utilizing renewable energy sources and restoring a once-exploited site to contribute to a cleaner and greener environment.
